Instructions:
Decompress folder into your locations folder.
Paddock/Garage: Head towards your LEFT in the garage area. The real race had the big white tents house all the cars but its easier if I used as much of the outside as possible to avoid confusion as to where pit lane is. The top 30 garage spots are outdoors, the remaining 20 spots are inside the tent.
Blue/white cones/lines denote pit lane entry and exit points, as in real life.
Pit lane entry wall has a "chicken exit". Its a gap in the left wall just before the actual pit-in where a car might be able to re-enter the track. This was there in real life as well but not for the same purpose (allowing ground traffic). Leagues using this track should decide beforehand to allow this or not. Obviously theres no benefit to using it but it might lend to cars colliding as they re-enter the main circuit.
------------
Versions:
Normal: This is the 2007 race configuration of the circuit. The 85MPH speed limit sign is only there for realism. rFactor does not have the capability to enforce 2 pit lane speed limits so the 2nd pit-in light is where the 50mph limit is enforced.
No chicanes: This version is the track with the chicane removed before pit-in.
Both versions can have erratic AI behavior due to the S curve through the city's narrow streets. Adjust your AI strength accordingly.

Thanks to Justin for taking photos on demand.
v1.5 packages all 3 versions together and fixes the pit lane lap bug.
V1.6 fixes firetruck bug. Optimizes shadows and some maps.

I'll look into that, probably just the file name at the bottom of the .gdb files.

Well done track, thanks!
Laptimes for 3 different versions are all saved under 1 layout though.

no need for concern, Simraceway has secured a license.

Simraceway is soliciting entries to a pay to race event, Open Wheel Challenge 3, featuring the iDT 2006 Champ Car mod and the Las Vegas, Long Beach, and Cleveland tracks. Isn't this in violation of the iDT's non-commercial use policy? Did SRW secure a written license from iDT to use iDT IP for commercial gain? If not, what action to you intend to take?

hey doug, thx again 4 the track. great nigth version although, in my opinion, it is still missing ligths in the tunnel section. it simply gets too dark even with ligths on. the chicane...almost imposible to see it in the middle of the nigth (again, perhaps the area is too dark), last comment, FPS....ugh is kinda very low compare to most of the "good" rfactor tracks. I have hosted the track several times with the enduracers mod going over the nigth, it is very enjoyable...realy , tho me and others need to run with all medium and DX7..., grats anyways .

there will be another patch for this, the firetruck material name is the same as the fire name in rF so if you catch on fire, you see firetrucks, not fire. Maybe tonight or this weekend.

Sweet. Thanks Doug. I have been trying to get ahold the 2002 Laguna Seca race for a while, it was the last Champcar race I attended.

I've been trying to get ahold of the tape for that race. I heard it was a great race.
